“It was really quite depressing to see the horribly dirty tanks these amazing creatures are kept in. I have never been to an aquarium and seen dead fish in multiple tanks. There is clearly not upkeep or maintenence being done here. ”

“Really good collection of different types of fishes and also maintained well with nominal ticket price. Just AC is not operated properly which sometimes make us feel suffocated inside when it is overcrowded.”

Ubharat Beach, Surat in Surat

Ubharat Beach, Surat

#leisure
Its a good vast beach not very far from the city Surat. The travellers who never have visited a beach anytime before will have a good experience. The water is clear with heavy waves. There are few food stalls on the sand where you can enjoy sweet corn and coconut water and other savouries while enjoying the sunset. The only thing is that it is not very mantained and cleaned. Also one needs to get back to the city just after the sunset as the way back is somewhat lonely. Overall a good experience for spending an evening on a weekend.
